Microbial Identification was done by phenotypic methods. VITEK-2 and Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) are now being increasingly used in laboratories.
To compare and evaluate the usefulness of MALDI-TOF MS and VITEK-2 in routine microbial identification.
The performances of MALDI-TOF MS and VITEK 2 were compared for identifying microorganisms.
MALDI- TOF MS and VITEK-2 correctly identified 96 % (96/100) and 97% (97/100) of the isolates upto the genus level.
MALDI TOF MS and VITEK -2 gave comparable identification and error rates. The rapid reduction in turnaround time with MALDI TOF is a significant game-changer in the field of clinical microbiology.

微生物鉴定采用表型方法。VITEK-2和基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF MS)目前在实验室中使用得越来越多。
比较和评估MALDI-TOF MS和VITEK-2在常规微生物鉴定中的实用性。
比较MALDI-TOF MS和VITEK 2在鉴定微生物方面的性能。
MALDI-TOF MS和VITEK-2在属水平上分别正确鉴定了96%(96/100)和97%(97/100)的分离株。
MALDI TOF MS和VITEK -2的鉴定率和错误率相当。MALDI TOF能快速缩短周转时间,这在临床微生物学领域是一个重大的变革。
